50mm is a bit overkill for anything pushing less than like 400-500bhp or 20psi of boost

but i don't have one for sale im afraid 😁

Will be on 10-11psi..

Do you have any other maybe?

Well on my Vx220 running 18psi-20psi of boost I get away with Forge's Recirv valve which is a 25mm Outlet/inlet:

But seeing this thread does actually remind me I have one of their vent to atmosphere valves lieing around that I could probably do with selling lol

When it comes to Bov's there's no such thing as overkill really. A bigger outlet will dump the air quicker but I don't think you'll really see any gains on that so is it worth the cost of a monster 50mm bov over a normal one? Not to mention I believe most if not all of the 50mm units are weld-on.

I was looking for a 50mm bov as the kit I have came with a pipe ready to fit a 50mm bov and I wanted to avoid the work of getting a pipe welded or by another pipe.

Honestly, I have seen on other forum people arguing that you can get away without a bov.

Thanks

Oh well as that's the case go for it if you can shell out the money for one. I've never seen that myself which is why I questioned it :)
